A criminal record and Travelling

Mollyd90 · 2014-03-03 17:15:07

Hi, Can someone point me to a website of what countries that you cannot travel when you have a criminal record if such exists. I dont want to get into the details of the record but its not a serious one like drugs or violence etc its more a technical breach of a law. thanks

It varies from country to country, I'm not aware that anyone has gone to the bother of documenting all of the details in one place, it really depends on where you propose to go and what kind of conviction you have. From what you've said above, I doubt if any country will refuse you entry but it really depends on the nature of the offence.

The US will refuse you entry if you've been convicted of crimes involving 'moral turpitude' which means general badness so probably doesn't include minor traffic convictions or getting fined for having no TV licence.
